26 | horse" is a foal
dropped by a mare which enters this State on |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or before December 1, in the
year in which the horse is bred,
| ||||||
2 | provided the mare remains continuously in this State until its | ||||||
3 | foal is born. An
"Illinois
foaled
horse" also means a foal born | ||||||
4 | of a mare in the same year
as the
mare enters this State on or | ||||||
5 | before March 1,
and remains in this State at
least 30
days | ||||||
6 | after foaling, is bred back during the season of the foaling to
| ||||||
7 | an
Illinois Registered Stallion (unless a veterinarian | ||||||
8 | certifies that the mare
should not be bred for health reasons), | ||||||
9 | and is not bred to a stallion
standing in any other state | ||||||
10 | during the season of foaling. An "Illinois
foaled horse" also | ||||||
11 | means a foal born in Illinois of a mare purchased at public
| ||||||
12 | auction
subsequent to the mare entering this State prior to | ||||||
13 | February 1 of the foaling
year providing the mare is owned | ||||||
14 | solely by one or more Illinois residents or an
Illinois
entity | ||||||
15 | that is entirely owned by one or more Illinois residents.
| ||||||
16 | (l) The Department of Agriculture shall, by rule, with the | ||||||
17 | advice
and assistance of the Illinois Thoroughbred Breeders | ||||||
18 | Fund Advisory
Board:
| ||||||
19 | (1) Qualify stallions for Illinois breeding; such | ||||||
20 | stallions to stand for
service within the State of Illinois | ||||||
21 | at the time of a foal's conception. Such
stallion must not | ||||||
22 | stand for service at any place outside the State of | ||||||
23 | Illinois
during the calendar year in which the foal is | ||||||
24 | conceived.
The Department of Agriculture may assess and | ||||||
25 | collect application fees for the
registration of | ||||||
26 | Illinois-eligible stallions. All fees collected are to be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paid
into the Illinois Thoroughbred Breeders Fund.
| ||||||
2 | (2) Provide for the registration of Illinois conceived | ||||||
3 | and foaled
horses and Illinois foaled horses. No such horse | ||||||
4 | shall compete in
the races limited to Illinois conceived | ||||||
5 | and foaled horses or Illinois
foaled horses or both unless | ||||||
6 | registered with the Department of
Agriculture. The | ||||||
7 | Department of Agriculture may prescribe such forms as
are | ||||||
8 | necessary to determine the eligibility of such horses. The | ||||||
9 | Department of
Agriculture may assess and collect | ||||||
10 | application fees for the registration of
Illinois-eligible | ||||||
11 | foals. All fees collected are to be paid into the Illinois
| ||||||
12 | Thoroughbred Breeders Fund. No person
shall knowingly | ||||||
13 | prepare or cause preparation of an application for
| ||||||
14 | registration of such foals containing false information.
| ||||||
15 | (m) The Department of Agriculture, with the advice and | ||||||
16 | assistance of
the Illinois Thoroughbred Breeders Fund Advisory | ||||||
17 | Board, shall provide that certain races
limited to Illinois | ||||||
18 | conceived and foaled and Illinois foaled horses be
stakes races | ||||||
19 | and determine the total amount of stakes and awards to be paid
| ||||||
20 | to the owners of the winning horses in such races.
| ||||||
21 | In determining the stakes races and the amount of awards | ||||||
22 | for such races,
the Department of Agriculture shall consider | ||||||
23 | factors, including but not
limited to, the amount of money | ||||||
24 | appropriated for the Illinois Thoroughbred
Breeders Fund | ||||||
25 | program, organization licensees' contributions,
availability | ||||||
26 | of stakes caliber horses as demonstrated by past performances,
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | whether the race can be coordinated into the proposed racing | ||||||
2 | dates within
organization licensees' racing dates, opportunity | ||||||
3 | for
colts and fillies
and various age groups to race, public | ||||||
4 | wagering on such races, and the
previous racing schedule.
| ||||||
5 | (n) The Board and the organizational licensee shall
notify | ||||||
6 | the Department of the conditions and minimum purses for races
| ||||||
7 | limited to Illinois conceived and foaled and Illinois foaled | ||||||
8 | horses
conducted for each organizational licensee conducting a | ||||||

| ||||||
16 | Section 145. The Illinois Pesticide Act is amended by | ||||||
17 | changing Sections 19.3 and 22.2 as follows:
| ||||||
18 | (415 ILCS 60/19.3)
| ||||||
19 | Sec. 19.3. Agrichemical Facility Response Action Program.
| ||||||
20 | (a) It is the policy of the State of Illinois that an | ||||||
21 | Agrichemical Facility
Response Action Program be implemented | ||||||
22 | to reduce potential agrichemical pollution
and minimize | ||||||
23 | environmental degradation risk potential at these sites. In | ||||||
24 | this
Section, "agrichemical facility" means a site where |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | agrichemicals are
stored or handled, or both, in preparation | ||||||
2 | for end use. "Agrichemical
facility" does not include basic | ||||||
3 | manufacturing or central distribution sites
utilized only for | ||||||
4 | wholesale purposes. As used in this Section, "agrichemical"
| ||||||
5 | means pesticides or commercial fertilizers at an agrichemical | ||||||
6 | facility.
| ||||||
7 | The program shall provide guidance for assessing the threat | ||||||
8 | of soil
agrichemical
contaminants to groundwater and | ||||||
9 | recommending which sites need to establish a
voluntary | ||||||
10 | corrective action program.
| ||||||
11 | The program shall establish appropriate site-specific soil | ||||||
12 | cleanup
objectives, which shall be based on the potential for | ||||||
13 | the agrichemical
contaminants to move from the soil to | ||||||
14 | groundwater and the potential of the
specific soil agrichemical | ||||||
15 | contaminants to cause an
exceedence of a Class I
or Class III | ||||||
16 | groundwater quality standard or a health advisory level. The
| ||||||
17 | Department shall use the information found and procedures | ||||||
18 | developed in the
Agrichemical Facility Site Contamination | ||||||
19 | Study or other appropriate physical
evidence to establish the | ||||||
20 | soil agrichemical contaminant
levels of concern to
groundwater | ||||||
21 | in the various hydrological settings to establish | ||||||
22 | site-specific
cleanup objectives.
| ||||||
23 | No remediation of a site may be recommended unless (i) the | ||||||
24 | agrichemical
contamination
level in the soil exceeds the | ||||||
25 | site-specific cleanup objectives
or (ii) the agrichemical | ||||||
26 | contaminant level in the soil
exceeds levels where physical |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | evidence and risk evaluation indicates
probability of the site | ||||||
2 | causing an
exceedence of a groundwater quality standard.
| ||||||
3 | When a remediation plan must be carried out over a number | ||||||
4 | of years due to
limited financial resources of the owner or | ||||||
5 | operator of the agrichemical
facility, those soil agrichemical | ||||||
6 | contaminated areas that
have the greatest potential to | ||||||
7 | adversely impact vulnerable Class I groundwater
aquifers and | ||||||
8 | adjacent potable water wells shall
receive the highest priority | ||||||
9 | rating and be remediated first.
| ||||||
10 | (b) (Blank). The Agrichemical Facility Response Action | ||||||
11 | Program Board ("the Board") is
created. The
Board members shall | ||||||
12 | consist of the following:

23 | represent pesticide manufacturers,
agrichemical dealers, | ||||||
24 | agrichemical distributors, and farmers shall be selected
from | ||||||
25 | recommendations made by the associations whose membership | ||||||
26 | reflects those
specific areas of interest. The members of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Board shall be appointed within
90 days after the effective | ||||||
2 | date of this amendatory Act of 1995. Vacancies on
the Board | ||||||
3 | shall be filled within 30 days. The Board may fill any | ||||||
